Cal,
Our accountant had us invest in Putnam via Raymond James over the last few years. When we invested the minimal required, we received "the talk", this was before the WTC and cuurent conditions. Fortunately we decided on purchasing adjacent properties and land, which have appreciated significantly over the past few years. I don't know that ANYTHING is a safe investment now, especially cobras, but the fun return factor is immediate and readily accessible. Bob Evans told me about your new acquisition and the promise to your wife, so watch out for those clandestine hand shake deals. The women are always watching!!
